Abstract
This article is the second of a two-part series reviewing antimicrobial agents that are used by the dermatologist. In part I we reviewed beta-lactam antibiotics and related compounds. In this section we again emphasize some newer agents (macrolides, fluoroquinolones) as well as some of the more commonly employed older agents (rifamycins, tetracyclines, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and clindamycin.
